Counties with life expectancy above 80. Higher life expectancy isn't just about income and wealth — for example, Hispanics are on average poorer than whites but live longer, which is why you see so many counties with large Hispanic populations coded green on the map below.

In relative terms, China's rapid rise in global GDP share came at the expense of the Japanese and Europeans, but not the Americans.

Unreal that you've switched where the accountability lies here. Do you see a threshold at all for the number of outrageous lies an academic must tell and the number of instances of plagiarism he engages in before media scrutiny is finally appropriate?

5/ "We also document one-standard-deviation changes on the scale of modern variation in combinations of alleles that today predict complex traits. This includes decreases in predicted body fat and schizophrenia, and increases in measures of cognitive performance."

3/ Reich himself warned liberals in 2017 that they needed to prepare for some bad news, and that if they didn't they were going to end up on the wrong side of the scientific revolution occurring in genetics. But rather than accepting his argument, Reich was attacked....

2/ ... it's been accelerating over the past 10,000 years, and the proof is in our DNA, and the DNA of our ancient ancestors. Bigger data sets and improved scientific techniques are exposing the ideologically-motivated lie that population groups are biologically all the same under the skin...

1/ Population genetics just dropped an atom bomb in the pages of Nature. We were told that evolution could not have meaningfully operated on the human brain in the "short period" of time since humans left Africa for Europe and Asia around 50,000 years ago. In fact, www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In 2024, the US murder rate was among the lowest it's been since the late 1960s, the property crime rate was the second lowest it's been since 1960, and all types of serious crime but rape were much lower than they were in the 80s. But crime fear porn dominates rightwing social media.
